    Description

    Here is a scarce vintage and ORIGINAL grouping of US Air Force F-4 Phantom fighter pilot related items, all identified and named to USAF officer pilot Brooke A. Barnes. This lot to include his flight helmet, his MBU-5/P oxygen mask, cloth aviator uniform wings, flight suit name tag, loose ribbons, Distinguished Flying Cross award with medal, a Republic of Vietnam medal, a Vietnam 100 Missions AF-4 phantom patch, and an extremely nice war issued 53rd Tactical Fighter Squadron Tiger flight jacket patch!  The rubber on the oxygen mask is still supple, but, could use some cleaning.  The helmet has much wear from age and use, as the inner foam lined headphones are loose, and the foam has the typical deterioration.  Items such as these are getting more and more scarce to find.  So bid fast and bid hard because you'll kick yourself if you wait, forget, and miss out.
    FYI just two of these patches sold in the past for over 0.00 combined. Making my .99 starting bid amount with NO reserve almost as ballsy as a jet jockey!  (I know, not even close, but a risk to be sure).
